MAY YET VOTE
BY MACHINE
ADDITIONAL TICKETS WILL
OVERTAX CAPACITY
Unleee Tried at the Coming Election
Expensive Apparatus May Be
Useless for an Indefi
nite Period
The voting machines which have bo
far provil an "Tpennive Investment
for Lo» Angeles may be used after
nil at the coining city election.
Tf ndrtltlonnl tickets are filed be
tween now and next Wednesday at
midnight the machines will be useless
on account of tho bulktness of the bal
lots. The limit has now been reached.
At tho city clerk's office. It Is under
stood that an independent ticket will
be filed by petition.
Tickets which have already been
filed are the Republican, the Demo
cratic, the non-pnrtinan. the Public
Ownership and the Socialist. Be
those there must be <i blank column
for candidates that have not been
named by a convention or a petition,
and a column for charter amendments.
Oeven Column* Filled
This makes a total of seven columns,
all that can be accommodated on the
machines.
Unless the machines are used at the
coming election, city hall attaches say,
there. Is not much likelihood of their
being used soon.
Blanket tickets, such as are sub
mitted to voters at general elections,
contain too many names and parties
to make It possible to find keys on
the machine for all candidates.
City elections in Los Angeles gener
ally bring forth more tickets than the
machines can accommodate. At small
er elections such as the annexation
election November 12 it Is impractical
to use the machines because of the
expense of transportation to and from
the polls.
Expensive to Move
It costs $5 to move the rtiachines and
there are seventeen. The polling places
are widely scattered.
Originally thirteen machines were
bought for $700 each, city and county
dividing the expense. Two years ago
for a test they were used at an elec
tion. The machine in the Ninth ward
broke down and the voting was fin
ished in the old-fashioned way. After
ward the city and county officials,
after a conference, daclded that the
machines were worth while and bought
fifty-two additional machines each,
making a total of 117.
About this time the United States
Voting Machine company sold similar
machines to Detroit for JSOO each, or
$200 each less than Los Angeles paid
for them.
Voucher Held Up
Because of this difference of $20,800
the mayor has refused to sign the
voucher for $36,400.
Rust attacked the machines while
stored In the city hall basement, then
the city paid storage charges of $1.50
per machine per month and now a
temporary building has been put up
alongside the court house on New
High street where they will remain in
idleness.
BLOW TO ROADHOUSES
IS GIVEN IN A LARGE
NUMBER OF TOWNSHIPS
One of the features of last Tuesday's
election was the voting on the question
of local option.
i Out of fifty-five townships forty-three
■foted to abolish the liquor traffic for
*he coming two years, and as a result
many saloons and roadhouses will be
compelled to go out of business January
1 next.
Those voting "dry" were Lamanda,
Sawtelle, Duarte, Ballona, Alamitos,
San Fernando, Glendale, El Monte,
(ilendora, San Gabriel, Cahuenga. Alta
dena, Walts, Eagle Rock, Moneta,
Azusa, Compton, Montebello, Artesla,

Downey, Palmdale and Clearwater.
The townships which favored the con
tinuance of saloons are Del Rey, La
Llebra. Wilmington, Catalina, Del Sur,
La Canada, Newhall, Acton, Green
Meadows and Rowland.
EVEN IN DEFEAT
DR. LAMB SEES
HOPE IN THE FUTURE
Dr. W. A. Lamb, the non-partisan
nominee for supervisor of the Third
district, who was defeated by S. T.
Eldrldge, the Republican machine and
Democratic push candidate, in a state
ment to the public says:
"Most sincerely do I express my pro
found gratitude for the noble and un
wavering support glv*n me during the
campaign now closed. Such devotion
So So So m VEGETABLE
The fact that S. S. S. is a purely vegetable preparation, containing not
the slightest trace of mineral in any form, has been one 'of the strongest
points in its favor during its forty years of existence. It is recognized
everywhere not only as the best of all blood purifiers, but the one medicine
that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest
. member of the family. Next in importance to removing 1 the cause of any ■
disease is the condition in which the system is left after a course of medical
treatment. Medicines containing mercury, potash or other strong mineral
ingredients often do permanent injury by eating out the delicate lining and \
tissues of the stomach, producing chronic dyspepsia, unfavorably affecting
the bowels and so damaging the system that even if the original cause of
the disease . has been removed, it is left in
such a deranged and weakened condition that jki aaa REWARD
the health is permanently ; irpaired. S. S. S. *'» vvvr nsn^nw
enjoys the distinction of beirg the only blood IF NOT PURELY
medicine on the market that does not contain %# -»,-—.-„■ «r
a mineral property in come form. : Being made VEGETAB L E.
entirely of roots, herbs and barks It is absolutely I •
harmless to any part of the system, and while curing disease adds strength
and health to every part of the body. 8. S. S. removes all poisons, freshens
and purifies the blood and gives better and more lasting results than any
I other blood medicine. S. S. 8. is the very best treatment for Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison
and all troubles due to an impure or poisoned blood supply. Besides being
the King of blood purifiers S. S. S. is the best and most invigorating of all

"While I was defeated, yet many

We have learned who of the many

"Such a power wielded in a reform
movement is a mighty factor which any
city should be proud of. It Is a corner

elected themselves to control the in

the Soldiers' home has occurred among
attorneys who are Interested in local
politics, but no formal action has been
taken and none is expected.

the non-partisan county central com
mittee had taken up the question and
possibly would decide to begin pro
ceedings which might result In throw
ing out the Sawtelle vote on the ground

government territory are not correct.
Should the Soldiers' home vote be

candidates, but no action will be taken
by the county non-partisan law com

'LUCIA' PROVES
A VOCAL TREAT
ALL FAULTS OF AUDITORIUM
FORGOTTEN LAST NIGHT
New Soprano. Tenor and Baritone
Make Hlt»— Familiar Number* Su
perbly Rendered, and Whole
Opera Almost Flawl««»
•Tls a »rreat pity that the Auditorium
could not havo been Inaugurated and
the opera season begun last night, In
stead of the nlgnt before. Then none
'or the harsh things said of the Lam
1 bardl forces would have been Written.
As It la, the opinions expressed of the
opening were fully justified, of course;
but It would have been ho much better
for nil concprned, singers, management
■nd especially the public, had It been
possible to have expressed the views
of the opening that one most glaaly
enunciates about last night's produc
tion. l i ■ • ■ fi;'. '
As all know, "Lucia" Is quite n dif
ferent proposition, «o for ns difficulties
Of both vocal and Instrumental score
are concerned, from "Alda." The latter
contains some of the most stupendous
work ever cut out for musicians to do.
"Lucia," on the contrary, both vocally
and In the orchestral parts, Is much
lighter; more musical to the pur, per
haps, but far less demanding on the
performers. This In itself insured an
lmprovement last night; then better
acquaintance of singers and players
with one another, the Inevitable
smoothness coming with a secondig?er
formance, and the general air of confi
dence and absence of premier nervous
ness, all militated for the success of
the "Lucift" Interpretation. So more
was expected.
But not one of that audience that fore
gathered in the beautiful Auditorium
was prepared for the treat that, was
his. It was "a surprls.-. so overwhelming
that •It almost took one's breath. It
was a performance so good In all
around excellence that it fairly lifted
the listeners out of their seats, and the
whole applause of the Inaugural was
.not so great as was manifested time
after time for some special number of
the familiar score.
This very familiarity of the opera
helped to make It the more enjoyable,
t oo; there was a satisfaction in hear
ing such old favorites as the love duet,
the sextet and the mad scene rendered
so superbly, and with such consummate
artistic skill, that made one overlook
any minor defects and gave one cause
to applaud to an almost hysterical ex
tent. I •
Consequently it was a hitrhly dellght
efl and enthusiastic audience which
filed out of the great building after
Edgardo's splendid lament, and went
its way with the divine harmonies still
ringirg in its ears and the salvos of
cheers still reverberating. Pity 'tis
that this could not have been the cas»
one night before.
■ To begin with, last nicht brought out
eight principals o% super-excellence —
Tromben, a lyric soprano of winning
sweetness and charming personality;
Salvaneschl, a tenor with a voice of gold
and liquid as a brook, - and Antola, a
baritone of finest quality. This trinity
was backed by several others of minor
note as to roles, but of the same high
excellence of voice, especially Canettl,
a basso who made his bow | Thursday
and who won much), favor then. I These
principals rendered 'an almost flawless
score, • and were a delight from . begin
ning, to end. j Not once «dld the . four
named ' fail . to rise' to' the demands 1
made upon them, and In several in
stances they outdid anything of the sort
yet done here. . ; , '„■ :r: r .
Tromben Is a soprano whom all took
to their hearts at once. She Is a fragile
looking woman, of considerable beauty,
with a voice of pure lyric quality. Her
lower notes are excellent, and her high
ones, though a bit thin at times and
suggestive of falsetto, are still so gen
uine that they charm. Her voice is not
as strong as -opsslbly some roles that
require, but as Lucia, the plaintive
strains in it fit the part to a nicety
and make It all the more acceptable.
Her acting is far and away ahead of
what one expects of a vocalist, and the
combination makes her a tower of
strength, a singer to whom we will
look for many an entrancing appear
ance In the near future.
Salvaneschl, the tenor, also possesses
a jewel of a voice, of pure lyric timbre,
which he handles superbly. Not once
did he fall to make the most of his
chances, and his golden throat poured
forth a stream of melody that was
faultless. Antola's baritone Is reso
nant, steady, never harsh, and fully as
flexible as any that the writer recalls.
He was especially good in the scene
over the marriage signature with Trom
ben. Oanettl had his chance in the last
act, and his vocal achievements es
tablished him at once.
From the beginning the opera took
F.trong hold on the audience. The love
duet between Tromban and Salvaneschl
was great; the sextet got a tremend
ous recall, and was better done the
second time even than the first— the
city never heard it more perfectly ren
dered—and the mad scene, which per
mitted Tromben all sorts of opportuni
ties for vocal pyrotechnics, was su
perbly given: though on the recall she
did fail on her final high note, this
was gladly overlooked. Martini, as
Bucklaw, was poor, but his part Is of
fo small importance that It scarcely
marred even the ensemble.
The chorus, praise be, redeemed It
self, too, so far as it could. It sang
without Individuals trying to single
themselves out, and kept with the or
chestra, which Guerrerl had well In
hand this time. If one doesn't look at
the chorus, really it Isn't so bad now.
The costumes saem to have arrived
those last night were all thnt the opera
demands. The scenery, too, was ade
quate, and the stage management
shows some Improvement. The prompt
ers should be gagged, or permitted to
take the center of the stage; they an
noy as they are at present concealed.
"Aida" will be repeated this after
noon and "Lucia" tonight. Go tonight
by all means. The same casts will
sing.
